- This release adds a flag to control the feature RT#130394 (allow short nested blocks)
introduced in the previous release. Unfortunately that feature breaks
RPerl installations, so a control flag has been introduced and that feature is now
off by default. The flag is:
--one-line-block-nesting=n, or -olbn=n, where n is an integer as follows:
-olbn=0 break nested one-line blocks into multiple lines [new DEFAULT]
-olbn=1 stable; keep existing nested-one line blocks intact [previous DEFAULT]
For example, consider this input line:
foreach (@list) { if ($_ eq $asked_for) { last } ++$found }
The new default behavior (-olbn=0), and behavior prior to version 20191203, is to break it into multiple lines:
foreach (@list) {
if ( $_ eq $asked_for ) { last }
++$found;
}
To keep nested one-line blocks such as this on a single line you can add the parameter -olbn=1.
- Fixed issue RT#131288: parse error for un-prototyped constant function without parenthesized
call parameters followed by ternary.
- Fixed issue RT#131360, installation documentation. Added a note that the binary
'perltidy' comes with the Perl::Tidy module. They can both normally be installed with
'cpanm Perl::Tidy'
